    TOTAL PhP 46,500 (approx. only)

    COURSE CREDIT

    → A course, in general, is given a credit of three (3) units. Three units means three (3) contact hours a week for 16 weeks during a regular semester. Usually, this is implemented as two class meetings in a week with each meeting having an hour and 30 minutes in lecture and discussion. (Example schedule: ENG 1 Tuesdays & Thursdays 2:30-4:00PM)

    → There is an allotted two weeks for the integration period and the final exams period, bringing the total length of a semester to 18 weeks.

    → General physical education (PE) courses have a credit of two (2) units each, and a lecture class with a laboratory counterpart can reach up to five (5) units in credits. (PE courses can be registered for free, but certain fees may be imposed in the course itself, like the rental of equipment and facilities.

    → Usually, a 3-unit undergraduate course would cost PhP4,500 in tuition fees. The fees for graduate courses vary according to each graduate school. For example, the cost per unit

  •   8

    at the School of Urban and Regional Planning (SURP) is PhP2,000 per unit, so a 3-unit course would cost PhP6,000 in tuition fees. It would be best if you contact the graduate school you are planning to take courses from and inquire about the cost per unit.

    CHOOSING COURSES

    → Students may choose any course from any college/unit in UP Diliman upon approval of the specific college/unit subject to availability of slots. This is to check if the student satisfies whatever necessary background or pre-requisite courses for a particular course, and if there are still vacant slots. There are minimal, or almost no pre-requisites for General Education (GE) courses.

    → Other units, such as the Virata School of Business, the National Institute of Molecular Biology &

    Biotechnology, and the College of Engineering, will check the transcript of the students, if they have sufficient background for the level of the course that they want to enroll in.

    → In the case of taking higher English courses, the Department of English and Comparative Literature

    (DECL) will give a diagnostic exam prior to enlistment in the English course desired by the student, to determine if the English competency level of the student is appropriate for the course level.

    → English is the general language of instruction in UP Diliman, but take note that some courses may

    be taught in Filipino, or in both English and Filipino.

    → Some courses are seasonal and are only offered during a specific semester (e.g. Filipino 3/Fil 3 is only offered during the First Semester, and Fil 4 is only offered during the Second Semester), so some courses may not be available during your period of stay.

    USEFUL LINKS FOR CHOOSING COURSES

    For the list of the Degree Programs offered in U.P. Diliman: http://ovcaa.upd.edu.ph/acadofferings.html

    You may view/download the U.P. Diliman Course Catalog by college/unit here: https://goo.gl/RQin1v

    (shows the course title, code and number, pre-requisites, and a short description on the course)

    You may search for the courses by “letter” here:

    http://crs.upd.edu.ph/course_catalog (only shows the course title, code and number; does not provide course descriptions)

    A QUICK GUIDE ON CHOOSING COURSES USING THE UP DILIMAN COURSE CATALOG

    → Courses enclosed in light-green boxes are GE courses. These are basic and/or introductory courses to their corresponding fields. GE courses usually have minimal or no pre-requisites.

    → The course code can be identified by looking at the parentheses beside the course field. For

    example, “Geol” is the course code of Geology. Specific courses can be determined by their course code and corresponding number, which can be found beside the course name and description. For example, Geol 11 is the “Principles of Geology” course.

    → Some courses, you may notice, have the abbreviation “Prereq” written at the end of its course

    description. Prereq is short for Pre-requisite; it means that you need to satisfy the specified courses first before you can take that specific course. For example, a student CAN NOT take POLSC 110 (Political Analysis), without first taking POLSC 11 (Introduction to Political Science) and POLSC 14 (Philippine Government and Politics). See figure below:

    Other abbreviations you might encounter: ABBREVIATION MEANING

    Coreq Corequisite COI Consent of Instructor SYS Second Year Standing

    → Take note that courses with course numbers that start with the number “1” are undergraduate level courses, and the ones that start with “2” and above are graduate level courses. Undergraduate students may only take undergraduate level courses, while graduate students may take either undergraduate or graduate level courses. (Ex. Undergraduate: Eng 100, BA 151, CD11; Graduate: AS 201. CL 220, Plan 299)

    → Make sure that you satisfy the pre-requisites or their equivalent courses and other requirements of the courses you want to take. This is why the Official Transcript is very important.
